Maybe it's a linguistic thing. I'm not a native speaker and my English is horribly rusty.
But why is a poll, basically asking "are you sideloading purchased stuff" or "are you sideloading ... stuff" distasteful?
And what intention? My intention was to get a feel for the ratio purchased : ...
I left out lots of user groups, for example the ones downloading legit freebies.
But this still doesn't show any intention behind it. Yes, the statistic would look worse than comparing to the whole of users. But this doesn't matter, like every statistic you need the legend/key for it. You can generate whatever statistic you want, if you put it in the correct context.
And leaving out lots of user groups doesn't make it distasteful.
Just for a bit of provocation: If I would ask in a poll: "Did you ever drive drunk?" would this be distasteful as well? The act is distasteful, actually a criminal offense. Bur how can this make a poll about it distasteful?
